Apologies if there have been any posts about this (I know some people HATE duplicate posts being started but I couldnt be bothered to look beyond the first few pages!). Just wondered if anyone had researched the effects of Vit D (or the effect a lower level of it can have in worsening effects of covid). Lots of papers researching this. Made me wonder if this is a factor in the higher levels of BAME cases as the darker the skin the harder it is to absorb vitamin d from the sun. Public health England recommend everyone should take a supplement as we are all pretty deficient in it, due to lifestyle. New studies coming from China that many people that died from it had very low levels - more common than normal levels. Worth paying a tenner out for some supplements in my opinion but (apart from the panic buying thing) cant understand why the Government arent suggesting we all take it?
